Smart and cheap living

 Instead of buying, you actually can produce several daily necessary food in your backyard like vegetables  and fruits, i.e. tomato, pepper, eggplant,lettuce, cucumber,even cassava, banana, papaya, mango, jackfruit and coconut, if you have spacious backyard.
By doing that you may reduce your expenditure and also help to offset your bill, beside provide you a healthy home grown food and make the environment better off. When the harvest time come and you have a lot of fruits or vegetables you may give some of them to your neighbour as a sign of positive social cohesiveness which make the relationship among the community better and improves, 'quid pro quo'.
Before you start, make sure that everything is ready, like fertilizer , you would be better use an organic or compost, choose the good quality seeds, and try to plant them in the right season, so the possibility to grow healthy is guaranteed. Happy try !!!

Eat it all

.

During the last decade, fod waste consumed by human are increasing by almost 15%, and it will be getting worse in the coming decades. It is a giant amount in terms of human spending which actually can be saved or donated to the starving nations.
Not only a huge financial waste but also harmful and disastrous as well to the environment. Why ?
Because food waste in landfill will creates methane  which produce a greenhouse effect twenty times more than carbon dioxide. Beside, it will also produce a runoff called 'leachate'. When it runs down through the ground, will take all nutrient from the soil out and leave it become an inferno.

So, eat your food all, do not waste it. Everyone can make even a trivial changes which lead to massiove results to the environment of the world. Do something now, or we will be sorry then !

Snowmageddon

It's clear that the world and we're the people are facing the phenomenon of global warming, where The North Pole now is melting recently, and also the snow cap of The Mount Everest is shrinking over time.

NASA has also just released a report regarding the phenomenon where from 1998 to 2009 was the hottest decade, which reached the culminating point in 2005. NASA also founded that 2009 is the second hottest year after 1880 since the modern method of temperature measure began.

Confusingly, during the strong issue of global warming, we're just witnessing a frightening extreem cold weather where both the capital of the world i.e. Washington DC and Moskow were freezing and suffering the worst snow storm during the past 80 years, which President Obama named it Snowmageddon.

The Comission on UNHCR also noted that the frequencies of earthquakes, landslides, floods, tsunamis, cycloons, and other cathastrophes are doubled recently.

Whether it's global warming or Snowmageddon, the threat is clear in front of our eyes. No time to argue, save the world now, or we have nothing.

The Last Day

The Doomsday Scenario

Everybody understands well, if global warming will, eventually drew up the sea level all over the world. There will be no exception, but the most miserable group are the people who live in small islands, especially in the 'low-lying islands', which laid about one meter above sea level.
According to the study and analysis , the effect of global warming, if we don't do anything , by the end of this century the sea level will increase by about one meter.
It means that we will have a lot of numbers of immersing small islands all over the world, including 42 countries of small islands or SIDS ( Small Islands Developing States ) which is stretching from Asia, Africa, Pacific, Caribia and Mediterania.
If the sea level raises by one meter by the end of this century, the UNFCCC (2005) reported ,
Maldives will be wiped out from the world map, while Grenada and East Papua will loss about 50% of their shorelines.
Another threat will appear from the raising of the sea water temperature which will trigger the coral bleaching epidemic , where this will destroy the population of coral species and will make
an estimable economic loss , not only to the country itself, but also to the world.
This is just only the begining, if we, the people of the world still doing our business as usual , like
destroying the nature, maintain the extravagant lifestyle, and ignorance behaviour to the
environment, we, sooner or later will witness the worst things happen.
"Apres nous, le deluge" Mme Pompadour.
We have been witnessing a lot of disasters recently, and will realize a lot more catastrophes made by human shortly, not because the curse from God.

The Final Judgement

The Final Day

Total population of the world is estimated to have been about 18 billions in 2050, by the end of the XXIst century, no one could predict, and we do not know what actually would happen, perhaps we, all people of the world have already departed to another planets or we do not exist anymore.
All of these possibly to happen because of global warming which can make the world could not stand anymore to hold the unbearable agony caused by man made pollution or we will have a nuclear calamity, caused by man's egoistic way of thinking.
We don't have a choice, we have gone too far, and seems we do not care to all of those circumstances where business is still going as usual. The major solution is clear i.e cut the world population and no nuke.
A population growth of 1% of the world will be adequate to maintain world's natural resources which is about to match with the mortality rate, since better health caused by better medication technology make people grow older.

Feed the World 'No more meat eater and pet lover'

Everybody understand well that global warming which leads to world catastrophe, like it or not, is just a matter of time. I personally believe that the higher priority, now, is just how to make the 'injury time', the time we only have before the real world disaster happen become longer.
Because, the damage caused by man made pollution is already too much, where everybody just think about himself.
World poverty which happens mostly in the third world also have a significant share in destroying world natural resources, like rain forest in Indonesia and Brazil, which ultimately also share to the world's robust and terrible deterioration.
In the US, now, they face problems of obesity and 'overeating', where they could cause a serious health hazard and possible to death. The data of this kind of death is far beyond the death caused by traffic accidents as well as drunk driving and probably even far more then death caused by terrorists.
Astonishingly, it's also still far higher than the death caused by starvation.
As we all know clearly, that grainfed animal is harmful to human health as well as wasteful to the world's limited grain supply. So, by reducing animal herds and diverting to human be consumed, this will make the whole world could avoid starvation and healthier.
The funny thing just happened after the WW II ended,where grainfed animals were very scarce, the death of heart disease were rare.


Beside the meat eater, Americans also well known as pets lover, where the US is a real heaven of pets and pets lover as well, where a large portion of protein here will be consumed by their pets, namely dogs and cats. Americans also consume about 15% of fertilizers to be used in the non-food applications, like in cemeteries yards, lawns, golf fields etc.
If they could change their behaviors and switch to the human food production, I'm sure there will be more food and healthier people in the world.
What do you think ?

Warm-up or Ice Age ?

" From time to time it is necessary that pestilence, famine, and war prune the luxurious growth of the human race " ( Aristotle ).
The above maxim is actually justify why, recently we, the people of the world, have a lot of natural disasters. The same thing happen to the climate of the world, where we have been talking a lot about global warming, on the other hand we forget that instead of that, we might have a reverse phenomenon like an Ice Age. Why ?
Some knowledgeable persons concerned with world climate hypothesized that man made pollution, like fossil fuel burning, forest fires, slash/burn in the tropical forest are believed to have a greenhouse effect on surface temperature which produce carbon dioxide, lead to global warming.
Reid Bryson ( University of Wiscounsin ) have different point to see that problem, he pointed out that the warming and cooling of the polar ice caps strongly influence the world climate.
The activities of of fuel burning, deforestation, industrial pollution and lot more man made pollutions are believed to have increased the amount of dust in the atmosphere beside dust originating from volcanic activities, could lower the earth temperature and most probably will initiating an ice age.
When polar ice caps have expanded, some carbon dioxide, which formerly dissolved in the oocean, will be released to the atmosphere, which eventually can be expected to warm up the surface temperature and then reverse the glaciation.
Whatever, the man made pollution is believed to disrupt the world weather patterns, so make the world clean and green is the main priority and of course control the world population and fight against critical world food production and resources are another emergency agenda.

"Zero Population Growth"

Every 5 seconds a kid will die because of hunger, and 59 millions children allover the world, everyday would go to school without food. It is a very staggering and frightening data from the UN and actually it's.
Long time ago, Brown a geophysicist, in 1954, in his wild imagination, already cited a more intimidating prediction. He has calculated, by extrapolating current trends for 5000 years, another set of impossibilities.

"At present rates, says Brown, all known food sources on earth would be consumed by the end of this century. Let us suppose, however, that science became so ingenious that men learned how to transform rock itself into food. By the year 2700, all the earth would have been consumed. Assuming still further, always for purposes of illustration, that science found a way of utilizing other planets as food. This could help little, for by the year 3200 all the planets would have been eaten. His hypothetical case even further, let's assume that science could transform the sun itself into food, by the year 3700 the sun would also have been eliminated shortly."

The point is clear, where the world could not support the absolute population with the present rates anymore, where 50% of world populaiuton eventually will inhabit cities, and this circumstances lead to a deterioration of the quality of human life and serious both social and biological problems.
The stabilization of world population is first priority, a must, and necessary as prerequisite to ecological regeneration. We're on red alert, can't wait until it comes as a result of economic development. It's our future, think about it !
'Zero Population Growth' now!

Growth vs Environment

Our world is now going to decide, like it or not, whether we have to proceed with growth policy or turn to the environmental lead toward better an cleaner world environment, which means approaching to zero growth as well as zero population growth.
It's actually both an extreme and cruel choice to world society, but it's the fact we face now. The serious problem concerning global warming resulted from heavy and persistent pollution and lead to scarcity of natural resources and worldwide energy crisis recently, trigger a worldwide debate whether economic growth should be slowed down to preserve both natural resources and the environment as well not to mention this condition also will eventually create price stability instead of inflation.
The consequences of this policy will finally lead to the zero population growth and steady state economy as well. It's ridiculous whena leader of a country said that he will preserve environment accordingly, but still adopt high economic growth rate.
We hope that decision could be made shortly before we destroyed all of our mineral/natural resources, drowned in our industrial wastes, and unavoidable worldwide heat where human could not sustain and live anymore. Apocalypse now !

"Cool-Biz" policy

The Japanese policy concerning energy seems clear and serious, where every office building in Japan must apply the 'cool-biz' policy where they have to minimize and set the temperature inside the building to 28 degree centigrade.
"It was hard but we become acquainted" said Hiroaki Tagaki, the Secretary General for Climate Changes Actions. You won't believe it, when you enter either the Government or business offices buildings in Tokyo or Hokkaido, you would find employees and workers do their jobs without wearing tie nor jacket like before, some of them even prefer to use fan just to refresh their working space.
It's a very good start to fight the climate change and must be applied by everybody in this tiny and fragile planet. Who will follow then ? Take action now !

Obvious conflicts.

The global warming which increases the world temperature, will absolutely affect and harm water resources and finally food supply. And if we could not manage well this scenario from the beginning
it will eventually trigger conflicts, even wars among nations.
According to UNEP study, the most critical areas will cover almost all African continent, Mediteranian, and Sahel.
The climate change is just the beginning, and it will create a snowballing effects, and will culminate by the end of XXX century. We already witnessed long drought, shortage of water supply, soil degradedness, raising sea level, big flood, hurricanes, deadly viruses, smashed harvest, and lot more catastrophes. and all of them will encounter us more frequently shortly, whether we like it or not. The hurricanes, floods, and raising sea level are still threaten along the shorelines of China, India, and the US.
Whenever the Himalaya snow melt, it will cause the disappearance of water resources, which will affect the water supply in India, Bangladesh, and Pakistan. Not to mention the climate change which affect and create hot spots and possible to destroy the tropical forests in Amazone, Congo, and Southeastasia.
All of them have and will create conflicts between regions, provinces, even nations. So, be prepared for the worst day that will come, sooner or later. Take care !

Better world

In Living Planet Report (2006) the WWF for Nature cited that the ecosystem of our planet now, is going through to a very serious condition which never happened before in the human history.The degradedness
of the tropical/rain forests in Amazon, Congo, and Indonesia, for instance, are accelerating rapidly to an unthinkable collapse condition.
This circumstances, will eventually, like it or not, trigger shortages of both water and food supply in the world, not to mention hundred millions people will lost their home because of either flood or drought, and they become starving refugees.
Since Protocol Tokyo (1997) until UNFCCC (Bali 2007) there is no real action taken by industrial countries like USA which against both Tokyo Protocol and Bali Covention. Hard to iamgine this world wide movement which has a dominant role to make better world for all, without the participation of the Big Guy in the block, like the US.
Come on we're run out of time, act now, or we will feel sorry and miserable.

Go green !

Since Japan is not a rich natural resources country, the Japanese have been trying so hard to recycle everything, in order to save the world environment. From recycle the waste, both industrial and domestic waste, build the 'zero pollution' industrial estates, and produce the 'environment friendly' transportation modes.
Not to mention, Japan had already built the nuclear power plant which is friendly to the environment i.e Genkai Nuclear Power Station, where you can find that it's not a terrible place to visit,even for kids.
The eco-town project in Kitakyushu in 1997, had changed the whole atmosphere here, where people could enjoy the blue sky and fresh air, also more than 100 varieties of fishes live freely in the Bay of Dokai, where this is never happened before.
The producers of automobile in Japan also try hard to find a way to reduce the pollution problem from fuel cell combustion process, like produce the hybrid car until recycle the old and junk cars. Not only junk cars can be recycled but also another rubbish from trash of office equipments like copy machine, computer, printer, refrigerator, AC, TV, plastic, hospital equipments, washing machine, glass, lamp and many more.
So, go green folks,.... for better world !

The Age of Death

No doubt anymore that now, we"re living in the Age of Death, why ?
Because most people in the world are not paying attention properly and accordingly to the world environment, because we're just doing the business as usual, even just after the UNFCCC in Bali (2008) ended. We're , now start talking about how to increase the world production of oil and food as well, because we're approaching world crisis of both oil and food, which could absolutely trigger war between nation or perhaps social conflicts among people in the country or between countries.
To increase the supply of oil, we try to get from bio energy, this ,will eventually converte almost one third of food production for human, like corn, to bio energy and of course the price of of food for human will increase for less supply.
So, this just a paradox, where we can't increase the production of food if we use the same food to be a substitute of oil as bio energy, especially in the case of corn. Because of that dilemma, some country think to apply the nuclear energy and coal to increase their supply of energy to support their industries. On the other hand, we all know that all of them, i.e nuclear and coal are harmful to the environment.
It is likely that the 21st century is not better than the last 20th century, where a lot of bloodsheds happened, like World War I and II, The Bolshevik Revolution, The Holocaust, Vietnam War, and wars between tribes in African countries, and the bloodbath continues in the 21st century like war in Iraq and Afganistan, New York Bombing 9/11, terrorist bombing in Bali,
Jakarta, India, Spain, London, war in Bosnia,Tsunami disaster, earthquake in Yogyakarta etc.
But the most terrifying moment will happen, sooner or later, like it or not, if we don't care to the environment , we do not change our lifestyle, still do the business as usual, destroying the environment, greedy attitude in exhausting natural resources and a lot more bad habit toward a faster decaying process of mother nature. We're just awaiting our turn.
"Hodie mihi, cras tibi" ( Alexander the Great, 356 - 323 BC )

The doomsday scenario

Everybody understands well, if global warming will, eventually drew up the sea level all over the world. There will be no exception, but the most miserable group are the people who live in small islands, especially in the 'low-lying islands', which laid about one meter above sea level.

We have been witnessing a lot of disasters recently, and will realize a lot more catastrophes made by human shortly, not because the curse from God.

Bio energy

Since 2006, about 25 millions ton corn had already converted into bio energy as green oil.
The rough forecast of the consumption of corn to be converted into bio energy will be about six
times in 2010 . And in 2020 the projection of this program in the US, the Eurozone countries, and China will be about 300 millions ton/yr, 200 millions ton/yr, and 50 millions ton/yr respectively.
On the other hand, world corn production will be about 800 millions ton/yr , where half of the production will be absorbed in the cattle food production, not to mention corn for human food.
So, beside for human and cattle food, corn will also becoming a new source of bio energy.
To realize this program the US Government is preparing a massive and large scale production of corn by converting non-corn farm to be a corn farm, this policy explains why the price of soybean, wheat, and other agricultural products are getting higher recently.
The world has to feed world citizens that is getting bigger every time, on the other hand world farm land diminishes rapidly.
Le's put corn in its main function as human and cattle food , the bottom line is that we, all the people of the world, have to think again and again, whether we have to proceed the plan to convert corn into bio energy, or we have to change our life style.
After all the choice is ours, think about it !

World food crisis

We're now getting into the cruel choice, the dilemma, the difficult choice between using corn as a human and cattle food or to converte them to bio energy as green oil.
Of course, the world will be divided into the pro's and con's, the rich countries sponsored by the US will, obviously, choose the green oil to support their life style, on the contrary the poor countries will favor corn for human and cattle food.
The soaring price of oil recently has triggered the idea of replacing fuel cells to green oil, produced from corn. This plan, which was proposed by the US President would like to replace 30% consumption of gasoline in the US by bio energy produced from corn.
This plan indicates that the US is preparing an ambitious, large scale and massive project to converte corn, which is originally consumed by both human and cattle, into green oil to substitute its fuel cells consumption.
